But because, as I apprehend it, ye are assigned to
different offices, and you, Lucianus, are styled the head of them all,
whom, also, by the grace of Christ given you, you are able to direct
and dispose in their different spheres, I am certain that it will not
displease you if I also bring before your notice, in a particular and
summary manner, some of my sentiments on the subject of these
offices. For I hear that one of you keeps the private moneys of
the emperor; another the imperial robes and ornaments; another the
precious vessels; another the books, who, I understand, does not as yet
belong to the believers; and others the different parts of the
household goods. And in what manner, therefore, these charges
ought, in my judgment, to be executed, I shall indicate in a few
words.
